Cultural Heritage

Under the Aboriginal Cultural Heritage Act 2003 a person who carries out an activity must
take all reasonable and practicable measures to ensure the activity does not harm
Aboriginal cultural heritage (the "cultural heritage duty of care"). An assessment of your
proposed activity against the duty of care guidelines will help you determine whether or to
what extent Aboriginal cultural heritage may be harmed by your activity. If following an
assessment of the duty of care guidelines you believe cultural heritage may be harmed by
your proposed activity, you should contact the Cultural Heritage Coordination Unit for further
advice on (07) 3238 3838. Further information on cultural heritage and a copy of the duty of
care guidelines and cultural heritage search forms can be obtained from
www.derm.qid.gov.au.

Any soil disturbance resulting from development works should be managed to prevent acid
sulfate soil development as outlined in the current version of the Qld Acid Sulfate Soils
Technical Manual Soil Management Guidelines. To obtain a copy of this document or for
further information on acid sulfate soils, please contact Queensland Acid Sulfate Soils
Investigation Team (QASSIT) on 3896 9819 or access the website www.derm.qid.gov.au .
